I been out the sneaker game for a couple months. But hold the fuck up! Grape Vs this year? :love: How has the quality been on the last couple retros? XIs for example?
debs you got Midnight VI’s? Those is one of my grails.
Flint XIII and Altitude XIII both had minor issues with bleeding glue on the carbon fiber arch. But that seems more like a general problem with XIII. Can’t comment on the Cool Grey, but Silver Anniversary and Space Jam both had good quality as far as XI is concerned. The Olympic VII turned out very nicely.
Too bad my J’s (ones that I like in virtually every color) are 1-7. Everything after is a select like Spacejams, or Bred XIs
Lanvin just whoring their name out for money. The stuff is so poorly made, and pretty bland looking. Some cuts of the blazers weren’t bad. I woulda bought the sweatpants, but I never found them. The fact that people were putting this shit up for prices on ebay near retail for mainline Lanvin is what’s most comical.
All of these collabs are not anything different from usual H&M stuff, but simply a different tag slapped on them. If I want a certain design I’m going to buy the real thing, not some half assed version of it.
Oh my god… Nike.com had Jordan XX QS in full size run about a hour ago. They’re all sold out now, though.
EDIT: nvm, it was apparently some kind of error on Nike’s end.
i totally agree and i hate what stores like h&m urban outft etc are doing to brands and stores bringing that walmart style shopping to people…
im just happy its the wrong size or i would REALLY be pissed off
sadly there IS a blazer in my size up the bay =[
Can somebody refer me to links to purchase cardboard boxes that’s just about the right size to ship sneaker boxes (typical Nike and Jordan Brand boxes, to be exact) in? I can never seem to find the right size, and end up using oversized boxes. I tried to google this online, but to no avail.
debs?
usps has(had) boxes for shoes…
USPS doesn’t carry good size for it. The small shipping box is too small, the Large Flat-Rate box is too small, and the medium box they offer is too big. I’ve been using the latter just because I haven’t had other choices, but I’d rather get boxes that would store the shoe boxes is less extra room inside.
Anyone copped the white cements? I heard the quality is really good.
yeah i copped multiple pair…the quality is decent but i copped multiples because i wanted a flawless pair. one pair had a scratch on the toe box, another had issues with the midsole paint. smh. i had to mix and match just to get a good pair. i’ll be returning the others.
but overall the quality is really good considering what jb has put out lately. i really hope the bordeauxs have similar quality. the hares (the last VII’s i bought) were flimsy.
i will be getting like 5 pair of bordeaux VII’s because of the tongue, lol. i’ll choose the two with the illest tongues and return the rest. i’m mad picky.
I got a pair for novelty, but I think I’ll just flip it without ever wearing it. Not too fond on the fact that the production run on these seemed huge (seems like there were even more than the Flint XIII) despite the special packaging.
I agree that the quality is good, though.
i hope its this easy to get concords in dec.
/wishful thinking
Also, unrelated but the release of Zoom Kobe VI Rice PE and Glass Blue colorways might be delayed (both are supposed to come out tomorrow). I stopped by House of Hoops during lunch, and they still didn’t have their shipment. Apparently it’s the same case with Niketown.
Year of the Rabbit AF1 is dropping Saturday. $250 price tag is hella steep, but it’s super rare and I already got my hook-up. I saw it in person earlier today, and they were really nice. The special candy wrapper box was just for China, however. The U.S. release is coming in the AF1 Premium box. It’s been a while since I bought a tier zero release.
Jordan 2011 Year of the Rabbit next week… three more colorways of 2011 two weeks later… Black History Month pack… All Star pack… new Foams… new LeBron 8 V2 colorways including the ‘Entourage’… new Kobe VI colorways… and potentially the Kobe AF1 Foam and AF1 Low pack.
February is going to be insane for sneakerheads. :wasted:
